We bought a new house (almost)

Tomorrow we get the keys to our new house. Over the holidays we decided that we wanted to move to a new house - to get more space for the kids to play, a house that had room for a dedicated office for me, and a house with a bit more of a yard. We were fortunate to find something that we love right away, and it's only a couple of blocks away. We got a great deal on it too - the kicker was that we had to do a quick closing. So we close tomorrow. We've already signed the paperwork, and the title should transfer by end of day Wednesday.

We're very excited. We've been working with a painter to choose colors, and he'll begin painting on Thursday, and we hope to be moved in by Feb 1st or 2nd.

I'd post a link to the realtor's site with pictures, except those pictures don't really do the house justice, so I'm going to wait & post pics that we take after we move.

Oh, and it has a HUGE basement - it's not finished, but some day we'll finish it and have a huge rec room or office space or something.
